Canberra commuters who take a trip on the Glenloch Interchange may be completely unaware of the history growing right next to them.

The Canberra cork plantation was established at the same time as Canberra was, about 100 years ago, right where the corner of Williams Hovell Drive and the Tuggernong Parkway is now located.

One man who knows and loves the plantation more than anyone else is Neil Cooper manager fire for the ACT Parks, Conservation and Lands. Neil was one of the people who helped save the plantation during the 2003 bushfires. He was rewarded for his efforts with a bottle of local wine that has been corked with a little piece of the plantation, one of only a few still in existence.

Tim The Yowie Man lured Neil up the hill on the pretext of learning more about the cork plantation, but with the intention of robbing Neil of his wine.

Luckily for Neil he had a cork harvesting hatchet, and showed Tim The Yowie Man how to use it.
